Legal Question in Family Law in Georgia

Re: Child custody and visitation

You should consider consulting an attorney to draft documents that will structure the rights and obligations that you and your spouse have with regard to care, custody and support of your children. It is better to take this step early. Moreover, if you are contemplating divorce, you need guidance on how to conduct your current relationship with your husband in a manner that does not affect your ability to obtain a fair financial arrangement in your divorce decree. Call me if you want to discuss what this entails. It is not a good idea for you and your spouse to share one attorney, as you need someone who is looking out for your best interest.

Re: Child custody and visitation

You don't have to do anything. However, be aware that he has full custody, as do you, until a court says otherwise. In other words, he can take the children and return them ort not return them as he sees fit (and you can do the same). None of that will look good to a judge later, but it is extremely important that you obtain legal custody and get a custody order and/or divorce before such disputes arise. If you are mutually agreeable, it's prety inexpensive.
